Datadog hit $1B in quarterly revenue, landed two AI lab hyperscalers, and raised guidance above consensus - software's clearest AI winner.

Datadog achieved a historic milestone by surpassing $1 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time, signaling its transition to a large-scale software platform.

The company's adjusted EPS of $0.60 exceeded expectations, prompting an increase in full-year revenue projections by $240 million.

CEO Pomel announced the acquisition of two large hyperscaler customers, reinforcing Datadog's position as the preferred observability layer for complex AI infrastructure.

Despite a significant stock surge, analysts suggest waiting for a potential pullback to the $175-$180 range for a more favorable entry point.

For years now, Datadog (NASDAQ: DDOG) has been providing the monitoring and observability infrastructure that AI models need to perform safely at scale. The payment was Thursday. Revenue of $1.07 billion accelerated its growth and surpassed the $1 billion quarterly milestone for the first time in the company’s history – a milestone that repositions Datadog from a high-growth mid-cap to a true large-scale software platform.

Strong U.S. Job Growth Further Reduces Expectations for Fed Rate Cuts

The U.S. economy added 115,000 jobs in April, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.3%, matching market forecasts.

Quick overview

U.S. job growth exceeded expectations for the second consecutive month, adding 115,000 jobs in April and keeping the unemployment rate steady at 4.3%.

The stronger-than-expected employment data suggests the Federal Reserve may maintain elevated interest rates into 2026 and beyond.

While the labor market shows resilience, the underemployment rate rose to 8.2%, indicating some workers are struggling to find suitable employment.

Wage growth remains weak at 0.2%, trailing behind inflation, which continues to pressure real purchasing power.

For the second consecutive month, U.S. job growth exceeded Wall Street expectations, reinforcing the view that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates elevated well into 2026—and possibly beyond.

is showing strong resilience as bullish momentum continues to defend key support levels, with the psychological $100 mark now coming into focus as the next major target.

Market sentiment suggests that buyers are still in control, preventing deeper pullbacks and maintaining upward pressure despite short-term volatility. Traders are now closely watching whether this momentum can carry SOL toward a clean break above the $100 level.

Key highlights:

 Solana maintaining bullish structure

 Strong support holding against selling pressure

 $100 psychological level becoming key target

 Sentiment: cautiously bullish with momentum building

Analysts note that a successful push above $100 could trigger fresh inflows and strengthen the broader bullish trend, while failure to break higher may lead to short-term consolidation.

For now, remains in a critical phase as bulls attempt to maintain control and push toward the next major milestone.

As Bitcoin fell below $80,000, US-listed spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs ended a five-day influx of roughly $1.7 billion. According to SoSoValue statistics, Bitcoin funds had their first daily outflow in May of $277.5 million on Thursday.



According to Farside, the top two funds in terms of outflows were the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) with $129 million and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) with $98 million. In the midst of increased Bitcoin volatility, there was a dramatic shift in the flows into Bitcoin ETFs. On Wednesday, Bitcoin soared above $82,000, but the next day, it dropped below the crucial $80,000 mark.

Mixed Investor Sentiment

On Thursday, the first spot Bitcoin ETF established by a US bank, Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust ETF (MSBT), had modest inflows of $7.3 million. Farside reports that since the fund’s introduction on April 8, 2026, there has been zero days of outflows.

With a 557% increase in client assets retained since debut, MSBT has amassed 2,920 BTC, valued at around $232.6 million. In addition to its flagship product, the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), the low-cost spot Bitcoin ETF known as the Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust ETF (BTC) was the only other Bitcoin fund to get inflows that day.

The 21Shares Canton Network ETF (TCAN), the first US-listed ETF to provide direct exposure to Canton Coin, the native utility token of the Canton Network, debuted on the Nasdaq with the Bitcoin ETF today.

After momentarily regaining “Neutral” the day before, the crypto market downturn sent the Crypto Fear & Greed Index into “Fear” on Friday at 38. The indicator is still much higher than its April average of 17 due to the 11% increase in Bitcoin over the last 30 days.
